Religion of the Japanese.

The vast majority Of the people of Japan
profess Buddhism, but it is not the pure
Buddhism of India. It is hybrid product,
the result of migrating the doctrines of that
faith upon the paganism which had formerly
prevailed among the people. Their religion
now embraces the belief in Buddha Sakymuna
the Sod man"-his divinity, his saving
power, his heaven Of perfect rest-the Mir
vana"-the pagan demons, evil spirits, ghosts,
witches and the belief in the supernatural
powers of certain animals.
Buddha is conceded by all to have lived on
earth from 500 to 600 years before the CHS
tan era. The Buddhists say he was the son
of q virgin wife named Maya, from a divine
conception; that his coming and redemption
of the world was foretold; that the ruler of
the country in which the mother lived sought
her life to prevent the fulfllment of the proph-
esy, and that she fled to another country
where Budda was born; that his birth was
attended by supernatural phenomena, and
that wise men came to worship him; that in
his youth he showed such precocious wisdom
as to astonish and confound learned phloso-
piers; that in the carrying out of his mission
he often returned to the mountains with his
followers for meditationS, in one of which he
tasted forty days and nights; that lie was
tempted by one OF the evil spirits, whom he
rebuked and drove away. After working
many miracles and wonders and promulgat-
ing his doctrines be died. Upon bis death all
nature mourned. In the temples of the Japan
csc you may see pictures of the dead Buddha,
the trees bowling their heads and shedding
tears over him, all the races OF people in the
world in inconSol1h1a Grief and ra,,~esay+a
tives OF the whole animal kingdom gathered TO
mourn for him. In the clouds the virgin
mother and her heavenly attendants are seen
coming down to meet her son and escort him

Hints for the Cartoonists,

The public has an impression that great
many Of the cartoons that are published in
the illustrated papers are the result of
sketches and suggestions sent in by various
people Mr.. Gillian tells Tribune reporter
that the contrary is true. ''Out OF leo
sketches said he, scarcely one will be
found available for use in publication.
What an artist wants Is ideas and pointers
and suggestions as to the great movements
that are on foot, and as to the great mess
ures that are coming up for discussion.
Pictures readily suggests themselves if the
artist receives this sort Of information The
artists labor under serious disadvantage in
working on colored prints like those of The
Judge and Puck, because they must forecast
public affairs and the sensations Of the day

Farming Land in Europe.

While the soil is rapidly increasing in
value in the United States, it is a remarkable
fact that mere farming land is becoming al
most worthless in Great Britain and the con-
tinent of Europe. The extension of steam
communication to hitherto remote regions
has made the supplies of breadstuffs and pro-
visions so abundant in the ports of the old
world that land for raising grain and cattle
NO longer yields an income to the landlord
OF course it still pays to run dairy farms, to
raise eggs, milk and butter, and to supply
vegetables aud fruits. City property, also,
never brought such high prices as now. The
great landlords Of Europe, once controllers
Of all the wealth of the nations, are now
without incomes, and quite willing to part
with their holding to the tenants and field
laborers Monthly

The palace also is too sacred shrine to be

Is usually served in the garden of the sum-
mer palace, outside the town of Fee. When
the narrator dined in this second hand way
with his sacred majesty the weather was
hot, and the dinner was served in town
palace garden beneath orange, lemon and
pomegranate trees, where the buttercups,
corn flowers, and daisies grew so tall that
they mingled with the boughs, and the
guests had hard work to fight their way on

In the Habit of Trumpeting Their Own

In the Habit Of Trumpeting Their Own
Praises-Several Notable Instances.
Justin S. Morrill's new book on "The Self
Consciousness Of Noted Persons" contains
little that is new, but it lays bare the, true
inwardness of many Of the greatest men,
"spendthrifts of the personal pronoun," Mr..
Morrill, calls them.
It is impossible to glance through this
book without coming to the conclusion that
in all ages the leaders of men have been in
the habit of trumpeting their own praises.
Among these self conscious men, we find
Paul telling his brethren that he had
"labored more abundantly" than the others.
He said to the Corinthians: Il am become q
fool in glorying. Ye have compelled me:
for ought to have been commended of you:
for in nothing am behind the very chiefest
apostles, though be nothing"
In the old days great freedom OF utterance
was permitted when men spoke of them
selves. Augustus said: 81 found Rome
brick; leave it MARBLE Cicero, speaking
of his lineage, said: Il commenced AN ances-
try" Xenophon informs his readers that he
is "as eminent among the Greeks for elo-
quence as Alexander was for arms" Horace
boosted of his fine genius"
The moderns are not very different from
the ancients. "They call me lucky because
am able" said the first Napoleon yelling
ton upon being told that he was the greatest
general of the century replied: by Cd. 1t
Is quite true" Dryden said of his ode to st.
Cecilia's Day" that "a nobler ode was nes err
produced or ever will be-" Guizot in his old
age acknowledged that he liked nothing bet
ter than popular applause Sheridan made
this prediction when he failed in bis first
speech: Il have it in me, and it shall come
out" and Disraeli under the same circun-
stances said: Though / sit down now, the
time will come when you will hear me-"
Erskine used so many rs in his speeches that
found it difficult to set them up.
John Wesley advertised his dictionary as
'the best dictionary in the world"
Perhaps it is just as well not to quote the
Americans mentioned by Mr.. Morrill,, but
an exception must be made in the case of
Franklin. The old philosopher wrote: II
wish the out of fashion practice Of praising
ourselves would, like other old fashions.

he observes that most people
dislike vanity in others, whatever share of it
they may have themselves, but that for his
part he is disposed to give it fair quarter

PRAISE AND PRAYER.

For the fullness of earth,
For the Light Of the sky,
For our death, for our birth
For the heritage high,
Born Of the word Of light,
Won by the deed Of might,
Saved by the sowing Of sight;
For the light in the eyes and the love IN the hearts
Of men that brings
Men to be brave in war and true In the love Of all
things;
Glory OF deed that Is past
Safety Of state that is fast
Hope that is now and shall last
For the flower and the fruit,
For the eye and the word,
For the tree and its root
For the sleep of the sword
We praise thee, our Lord.
From the sins Of the few,
From crimes of the many,
From prophets untrue,
From rule of the penny;
Crime, that ignorance frees;
Lust, that is born of ease.
Hate, that is born Of these;
From the curse Of false lights and worship Of
earth and then
Doubt, and forgetting of God, and death OF the
soul in men;
Wealth, that is easy won;
Freedom, too soon undone;
Malice, that masks the sun;
From conflict of class,
From rage falsely stirred,
From greed Of who has,
From death of Thy word
Deliver us, Lord

CRACKING THE HICKORY NUT.
One Of the Favorite Country PastiInes
The Shell Bark Hickory.

The Shell Bark Hickory.
1t is a favorite pastime of our country pop
ulation during the long winter evenings to
gather round the fire and crack and eat
hickory nuts. It is an amusement, too, pc
culiarly American and for the simple reason
that in this country alone are the nuts to be
had in abundance. PERHAPS where almonds
or English Walnuts are equally common,
cracking hickory nuts is superseded by
resort to these other fruits. They, however,
are much easier to open than the hickory nut
and with thinner shells are readily cracked at
the table. But in America, in those districts
where the peanut does not take the place
Of other nuts, the cracking of hickory still
continues.
Whether it be the pecan of Texas and Him
OILS, or the shell bark or mocker nut of the
central or eastern states the amusement is
the same. They are the best nuts the forests
of North America produce, and some of them
are thought to be superior in flavor to the
much esteemed English walnut. Year after
year have hundreds and thousands of bushels
of the shell barks, the hickory nuts par ex-
cellence, been gathered in various parts of
the country. Among these, few can have
failed to notice the many differences they
pTeScuU. ECOIu0 are Sludll anu nearly TOuuu,
some are long, narrow, angular; some have
thick shells and some thin ones, as any one
who has cracked his fingers along with the
shell can bear witness
According to evolutionary doctrines, var
liability in an important feature is an indica-
ton either of q low state Of development, OF
that the organism is in state Of anvance-
ment. Various facts show the latter to be
the case with the shell bark hickory The
first stages of the onward march must be
sought far back in prehistoric times, for it
boasts an ancient if not an honored lineage
Before the hairy mammoth roamed the for
ests of the Ohio valley; before the soil Of
Louisiana was yet above the oceans waters;
before the Ohio had become tributary to the
mighty Mississippi; before even the Rocky
mountain range had been elevated above the
waste Of waters, the ancestors of this hickory
fourished in the land.-Popular Science

The Silver State is informed that
the Manhattan mine. at Austin has
been closed by creditors, and that
everything owned by the Company
is under attachment. The miners,
suspecting that crash was coming,
made heavy acquisitions for provls-
ions, clothing, etc., on the Com
pany's store, and, it is said, almost
cleaned it out. Suits upon suits
were instituted against the Com
pany by creditors, one being by the
Nevada Central Railway for heavy
freight bills. The Manager, L. J.
Hanchett, is East, and the mine
has been placed in charge of new
Superintendent.
Last Spring the mine was pur-
chased by the present Company,
for over a million dollars. An as
sessment of fifty cents per share
was Immediately levied, and con-
centrating machinery was erected
to reduce low grade ores, of which
there was said to be large quanti-
ties in the old dumps. 1t appears
however, that it did not pay, and
the wages of miners have not been
paid for some time.
It is hoped that the suspension is
oniy temporary, as the closing
down of the Manhattan would be a
death blow to Austin.

A Pointed Letter.

Jacob S. Curtis, President of
the Chicago Union Veteran club,
has written the following letter in
reply to an invitation received by
him from Gen. Fitzslmmons of St.
Louis, who will act as Marshal of
the parade to take place in that
city in honor of President Cleve-
land:
Dear Sir:-Your invitation in be-
half of the committee of arrange
ments for the reception of the Pres
ident to the Union Veteran Club to
participate in the parade, was re-
ceived Sunday. The Club desires
to express their appreciation of
your kindness in extending your
invitation. It's members entertain
the most profound respect for the
President. of the United States, as
President and If necessary, would
defend him with their lives. Our
organization is however, distinctly
and wholly Republican. Our al
legiance is due to the party which
saved the Nation in the hour of its
deepest need. We remember when
Andy johnson "swung around the
circle" to create Presidential boom
for himself in the year 1867. We
cannot consent to stultify our record
by assisting in similar effort for
Grover Cleveland in the year 1887
as we propose to aid, by every
loyal and legitimate means, the
election of a Republican President
in 1888. As Union soldiers we
love and adhere to the principles
for which we fought during the re-
bellion. The Club therefore most
respectfully decline to accept the
invitation.
